2018 Prophecies: The Good, the bad and the ugly

Posted on January 28, 2018 || By: Global News

Since the arrival of the New Year is being celebrated all over the world, Nigerian pastors, in what has become their tradition, have released series of prophetic messages for the year 2018. While some loyalists of the pastors believe in the messages; many Nigerians who took to social media knocked the pastors, labelling many of their so-called prophesies mere assumptions and permutations.

The social media commentators also cited many examples of failed prophesies from many of the pastors, while concluding that a lot of them lack the credibility to make prophesies and expect Nigerians to believe them.

It is also argued in some quarters that how come the yearly prophesies are usually negative. It is also queried that some of the prophesies consist irrelevant messages. For instance, social media pundits mocked a pastor who gave prophesy on the Kardashians. They said he (the pastor) must have been a fervent fan of E! (a celebrity channel owned by the Kardashians) to be familiar with their affairs.

Below are excerpts from some of the prophesies we tag the good, the bad and the ugly:

INTENATIONAL: 1. This year, there will be less fire outbreaks but there will be more floods! 2. There will be misunderstandings among nations but no major war! 3. Pray against assassination attempts globally. 4. There will be record breaking temperatures, both High and Low. 5. There will be a handful of breakthroughs both scientific and medical this year. 6. The countdown to the end has started.

NIGERIA: 1. Significant “Goliath” would fall! 2. Before the end of the year, there will be rays of hope; that all will still be well!

INDIVIDUAL: 1. Erstwhile stubborn mountains will move! 2. Many people will wake up to realise that their future is not in the hand of any government, and as a result, a lot of lost grounds will be reclaimed! 3. Saboteurs will be disgraced and displaced!
